I’m interested to know if I can have access to all the libraries, ide, etc for the iphone/ipad/macos without paying the 90 bucks(for learning purpose).
Do I have to pay to have access to everything in order to start developing? I’m not talking about the istore by the way. I know that there is a fee for that.
Thanks.
You can download the SDK and simulator for free. If you want to install it on a iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad for testing, or submit to the store, you have to pay the $99.

The simulator is useful for some testing, but it has many limitations. If you’re developing applications that use the camera or other hardware devices, certain types of multi-touch, etc you’re going to want to try it on a real device sooner rather than later.
